This document describes a new replaceable seat technology for BOPs introduced by Worldwide Oilfield Machine. The key points are:
1) WOM has introduced a next generation U-type RAM BOP with a no-weld cavity and a single-piece replaceable insert. This allows repairs and refurbishment without extensive machining and welding.
2) The single-piece replaceable insert provides an extraordinary sealing surface and fits perfectly in the ram cavity. It is secured with grub screws to avoid loosening.
3) Testing showed the new design passed 8 cycles of blind ram testing, 6 cycles of shear ram testing, and 6 cycles of 4-1/2" pipe ram testing between low

Replaceable Seat
An extensive and prolonged process of Machining, Welding, Pre & Post Heat Treatment is required
for successful repair and refurbishment of the used U type Ram BOP. Also, there is high chance of
crack development if the procedure is not followed properly, directly affecting the performance
of BOP. Overcoming this issue, Worldwide Oilfield Machine has come up with a new technology
of “Single-piece Replaceable Insert.”
